12 posts in this topic

More than 100 new species of marine animals have been discovered off the coast of the Philippines, in a previously unexplored portion of the Coral Triangle. Located on the southern end of the Verde Island Passage, these waters are considered to be the most biologically diverse in the world.

Researchers from the California Academy of Sciences visit the tropical reefs year after year to investigate the secrets of this underwater wonderland. In the latest seven-week venture, funded by the National Science Foundation and conducted this spring, their expedition took them from rocky shallows to depths reaching 150-500 feet deep, in a region known as the Twilight Zone.
